A person's salvation is not dependent on their ablity to pass a theology test. Also, your assertion is based on bad information. If you want o talk about it and get the facts straightened out, feel free to jump over to my other thread. Rather than derailing this one again.

Under such logic very single person who has never heard of Christ is automatically doomed. The end. While I acknowledge your viewpoint here, I don't shared it. Rather, I believe that while a person may be physically dead, their spirit still lives, and they will then have the opportunity to...

Not really are what you're going for here.

I"ll take this step by step, first talking about the living and the the second post will be about the dead. A person is saved by faith in Christ. This living faith is foundational: where in the person gives their strength/heart/mind/soul to Christ and is re-born. A part of a new disciple's...

In the future, yes, God's words will be heard in every corner of the world. But in the past, it was/is not always so. What about those people, whom never had the chance to hear of Christ before they died? Point of clarification: LDS Christians do not believe that the act of being dunked is...

I am curious: what your beliefs are as to the fate of a person who hasn't heard Christ's message during this life? Also-- I totally acknowledge whatever you believe, and won't try to change your mind. The most important thing about being a Christian is Christ our Savior, and I've 100% seen...

Again: I do not believe that all of God's Truths are just what's in the Bible and nothing beyond that. Rather, I openly acknowledge & celebrate that His wonders extend well beyond those pages and well beyond my tiny understanding.

Huge hugs and prayers for you, my friend.

Enoch, you're actually exemplifying my point here. You (and MANY other people) were told in somebody's primer what LDS Christians believe, taking that source as the truth, without seeing the full picture or getting things straight from the source (like this false idea that my relationship with...

We can ask the same thing of this for any other faith group.

A couple of things here-- 1) LDS Christians aren't Calvinists nor believers in Once Saved Always Saved. 2) Actual explanation of LDS Christian beliefs on baptism for the dead: "Bob" is a person living in some remote place, whom never in his life even hears the name "Jesus". Bob does the...

We could go talk 1 Corinthians 15:29, but I think the bigger picture topic here is the "Are all of God's Truth in the Bible and no where else?" For me, I find that God's Truths are not constrained just what's in the Bible. I totally acknowledge and respect that others believe otherwise, of...

I just posted your questions and the answers there. New stuff, just not de-railing this. Side note: my sister-in-law (+ good friend) and her children are UMC Methodist. I've attended services with them many times and had a good time.

I totally acknowledge you and your beliefs.

Addressing @Ezra 's questions-- Starting with the salvation question: Salvation is a gift from God to each believer. It is free. You cannot "earn" it-- the very idea of "earning" it is downright laughable. Rather it comes through faith, as a gift from God. This true believer's faith is not...

To avoid further de-railing, I will address both of these on my other thread What I actually believe -- sharing love of Christ

Always has been. Want a bunch of scriptures saying that?

David, LDS Christians aren't sola Biblia. I've never met a truly sola Biblia person. I acknowledge that you don't like what you think I believe. That's fine, I don't care. If you want to better understand what I *actually* believe, you're feel free to ask. But if your goal is to: have me...

One step ahead of you Helen ;)

In your opinion. Sorry, but I don't follow you David. You're not my Savior. I'm not going to follow your or confirm to your mold. Which isn't anything particular about you-- I strive to follow my Savior Jesus Christ, walking in His ways and being molded by Him.
